Q. What is the key difference between biosafety cabinets and laminar flow cabinets?

Answer

Biosafety cabinets protects sample, user and environment by recirculating HEPA-filtered exhaust air inside lab or venting outdoors, unlike laminar flow cabinets which protect samples only but not users as they have an open face and blow unfiltered exhaust air towards the user via laminar airflow.
